Love your neighbor does not mean condoning or minimizing sinful behavior, especially that which harms others.

It’s obvious she’s unrepetnent and proud. Just read what she wrote about herself, it’s clear as glass.

I don’t know what the heck you mean by “bashing” homsoexuals, but I help run the Homosexual Agenda ping list and I critize homosexual behavior and the agenda as much as I can because it harms people, families and the social fabric. So does abortion, so does promiscuity, so does the huge increase in illegitimate and fatherless children, etc.

The Bible may not use the phrase “crime against nature” but it’s also crystal clear from all scriptures including those of other religions, as well as biology, common sense, and news articles, that homosexuality is indeed a crime against nature.

Ever heard of Tough Love? Love the sinner but not the sin? We are not supposed to give up our God given discrimination and send of judgement. Everyone makes choices every day - what to listen to, how to spend money, what to say and not to say, what to read and what not to read, who to look up to or associate with, who not to, etc etc. We use our judgement, based on wisdom and intelligence, to make those choices. Love for God and all of God’s creatures doesn’t mean giving up our intelligent discrimination and use of judgement.

I noticed that Amy Grant seems to have "returned to Christian music" also. Perhaps it is because her secular career was dying. IIRC, Amy was divorced. Divorce has wrought terrible damage on our society, yet it is winked at and tolerated, by and large. Who does more harm, a hetero divorcee who leaves confused and destabilized offspring in his/her quest for personal fulfillment, or a monogamous lesbian who has no children? There are millions of selfish divorced heterosexuals--far more than there are lesbians.

I think there is an obsession with homosexuality here on FR. Predatory, promiscuous male homosexuals are a threat, but so are predatory, promiscuous heterosexuals, who get a pass from many FReepers. Monogamous lesbians are another thing altogether. Lesbians tend to be much less promiscuous than male gays.

No one is ever going to convince me that homosexuality can compete with heterosexuality, no matter how much gays may seek to "recruit" among the young. "Nature" and instinct will always favor the latter. What is really the threat to the family and to human society is the hedonistic, selfish, totally unChristian lifestyle which is found both in the gay and hetero communities today. The only legitimate form of sexuality, both in terms of biology and Christian ethics, is that within faithful, monogamous, heterosexual marriage. The real division which matters is between selfishness and self-sacrificing love. We are taught that the proper love between man and woman is like that of Christ for the church. Are you as disturbed at how few heterosexuals live that way as you are about homosexuality?

I don't give a bleep what other "religions" think about "crimes against nature," let alone what the world's people think. Christianity is not another "religion"; it is obedience to and imitation of the Lord Jesus.
